I'm a theatre writer. I know little about early music or Baroque choral compositions – but I can tell you what I love about this music. These works present voices singing in a manner so different than how we typically hear them that the simple and essential quality of the vocal performances cleanses one's brain. Also, this presentation of KMFA's twice-weekly show by La Follia Austin Baroque will feature an instrument known as the sackbut (it's like a trombone). Y'all can have your music theory. Me? I'll be sitting in the back, loving the music and snickering at the sackbut. - Elizabeth Cobbe
